EDWIN And ACE COMBAT 8 Apparel Line Lands September 17 With Three Items
The collaboration turns ACE COMBAT 8 into licensed everyday wear through two workwear labels known for supplying U.S. military gear, rather than the game-branded merchandise the series usually gets.
Reporting from 2 sources: Game Spark, Inside.
EDWIN will release three apparel items tied to the flight shooting game ACE COMBAT 8 on September 17, made with VALLEY APPAREL L.L.C. and Dickies. The lineup is a reversible MA-1 flight jacket at 39,600 yen, a short-sleeve T-shirt at 6,600 yen, and a Dickies short-sleeve work shirt at 11,000 yen, all tax included.
The two brands behind the items, VALLEY APPAREL L.L.C. and Dickies, both carry a record of supplying military wear to the U.S. armed forces, which is the credential EDWIN is leaning on for a flight-jacket release. The reversible MA-1 is the only piece priced above 30,000 yen; the other two are short-sleeve shirts, one from each brand. EDWIN frames the effort as carrying the game's world into real-world clothing, and directs buyers to a dedicated collaboration site for details.
- ACE COMBAT 8 x VALLEY APPAREL Reversible MA-1 [JOKER FLIGHT]: 39,600 yen, tax included
- ACE COMBAT 8 x VALLEY APPAREL S/S T [WINGS OF THEVE]: 6,600 yen, tax included
- ACE COMBAT 8 x Dickies S/S WORK SHIRT [Endurance]: 11,000 yen, tax included
